[MPlayer-users] Getting authentication to work

[Ajay Gautam]

Hello.

I am trying to get authentication to work with mplayer / mms, with no
success. Any help / pointers in getting this to work will be greatly
appreciated. (Authentication details are good, they work on windows xp
/ wmp). I am trying with Ubuntu and Gentoo.

I have tried the following:
$ mplayer http://streambox.tv/asx/zeetv.asx
$ mplayer -playlist http://streambox.tv/asx/zeetv.asx
$ mplayer -playlist http://myUserName:myPassword@streambox.tv/asx/zeetv.asx
$ mplayer -playlist mms://myUserName:myPassword@208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer mms://66.90.127.15/zeetv
$ mplayer mms://208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer mms://myUserName:myPassword@208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer mms://myUserName:myPassword@66.90.127.15/zeetv
$ mplayer mms://208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer mms://208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer mms://myUserName:myPassword@208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer mmst://myUserName:myPassword@208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer -user myUserName -passwd myPassword mms://208.69.192.224/zeetv
$ mplayer -user myUserName -passwd myPassword http://streambox.tv/asx/zeetv.asx
$ mplayer -user myUserName -passwd myPassword -playlist
http://streambox.tv/asx/zeetv.asx
$ mplayer -user myUserName -passwd myPassword mms://208.69.192.224/zeetv

The error I get is "connection refused" (irrespective of what
parameters I pass to mplayer)
All the above give similar errors:

Any help / info / pointers / tips in getting this working would be
highly appreciated.
